rgl attempts on OS X to build both X11 and 'Carbon' versions. You can
inhibit the latter by
R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--disable-carbon' .../rgl_0.81.tar.gz
The X11 version does work -- had you not tried that?
A native Mac OS X version will be a lot more work, so to encourage
people you will need to explain what is not enough in the X11 version.
